Parkker IM
(lemmy.sdf.org)
[Reposting, as it didn't federate properly last time]
This is a parker IM I've had in my collection a while. I don't usually go for Parker branded pens. I usually find them a bit boring/vanilla. But when I saw this one come up pristine on Ebay, I thought I'd give it a go.
It looks nice, but sadly it doesn't seal well. There's a hole under the clip that lets air in. Why? I guess I could try to cover it.
Bonus device in the background.
I remember Sony's SonicStage. Vividly. It was indeed garbage.
It was from that era when it was acceptable to roll your own user interface out of Windows DIB's, or whatever, and people would still take you seriously if your software had practically zero functionality but looked like it belonged in Minority Report. Everything was needlessly animated... super... slowly... The whole fucking thing was like navigating the menus on some 2004 Flash cartoon site.
I sold my NetMD Minidisc player years ago. Just the other week I stumbled on a cache of disks, though. I wonder what I'll ever do with them.
